One of the best laptops I've ever had. Fast, efficient, and pretty thin. Fits everywhere and that is a plus, great sound quality and screen brightness.

This computer is fantastic. I use it for daily tasks, work, and for music recording/production. Never lags, never has a glitch, never makes a sound, never gives me any fuss. Extremely snappy with web browsing, videos, Microsoft Office, etc. Wish it had some more ports but the battery life makes up for that. I can record for hours or even edit in Final Cut on this thing and battery is still in the 90s. Only time it gets slightly hot and laggy is rendering 4K, but you can tell there’s a fan because it gets right back on task. I definitely recommend one of you use Apple software and are integrated into Apple ecosystem!

This is my first MacBook/Apple Computer ever. Haven't used a Apple PC since elementary school when we had floppy disk drives and then again in the mid 90's. I am very impressed how easy it was to navigate coming from a long time Windows person. It took a couple of days but now I am in love with it. Super fast, love how my Apple Watch unlocks my Mac. The price was right thanks to best buy saved a couple hundred on a brand new one.

This MacBook was excellent for the casual user. I do wish it came with more storage. Some apps would occasionally crash like FCPX, but that may have more to do with the app itself. Just a reminder that it’s worth it to get AppleCare!

Love love love this. Finally got a new macbook pro after my 2011 macbook. Touch pad was a little weird for me at first, but is alright now. Way lighter than my old mac and fits perfectly into 13in bags and sleeves unlike the old macbook.

veni vidi vici. Although initially one staff said student discount was not available, later another person came to rescue. Best buy has all sorts of products available; Like the place very much. And Macbook Pro needs no review. It always feels good to have on the table.

First Apple Product Ever, Ive Discovered Life!!!

My First Ever Apple product and man have i been missing out. Im literally blown away!!!
I was thinking about upgrading my custom pc or even making a new one. Ive always looked into Apple computers but figured they were way overpriced for the hardware you'd get. Well the reason i bought this was because of the new chip. Ive seen all the reviews on YouTube and i figured why not if it doesn't work out ill return it. If your an Apple user you already know what to expect but me coming from windows and pcs buying this was like discovering a whole new world. As soon as I opened the box i was blown away this thing is small light sleek simple and beautiful. Everything is simple on apple os. I bought this to edit videos 4k 24 30 60 works flawless on davinci reslove. No hip-ups or glitches Apple just makes everything so simple cant believe Ive waited this long. A awesome feature of this laptop is the touch bar that's the best thing Ive seen and experienced on a computer. Cant believe people dislike it makes everything so much easier. I could go on and on about this mac book but to be honest i never write reviews and I don't feel like typing more but i just had to get the word out. I WILL be buying the new 16 in model when it comes out as well and since its rumored not to have the touch bar i will be keeping this one as well. To give you some background I love to Travel take pictures record videos and to edit them this is the perfect size for travel and the screen is outstanding, another reason i went with this computer as on windows you get crappy screens. Dont hesitate buy this macbook now.

Actually Impressed

This Laptop is just absolutely impressing. For the size and the power it offers is unmatchable.
I wanted to get a portable yet powerful laptop that didn't weight a ton. I currently have a MSI GE66 32gb, i7 and a RTX 2070SUPER. The MSI is fast, has good thermals but, this little machine is way superior!
RAW POWER-
The m1 is no joke! I am currently using this laptop for software virtualization, PEN testing and school work. I am able to run ARM based linux distros with no problem! Also its so fast! I don't see any lags or slow downs. I can have multiple apps running while using parallels with no lags.
Battery Power-
I am still impressed regarding the battery performance and how efficient the M1 is. I can use the MacBook Pro for 10+ hours and not kill it. Now those 10 hours include running parallels which in windows running any virtualization kills your battery insanely fast! Running Nmap scans, RDP connections and just productivity work. Again everything runs so smoothly and with out having to worry about being near a wall plug!
Build Quality-
The build quality of this laptop Is great. Nice and light. The metal build gives it a cold feeling to it.
Speakers and screen-
The speakers are amazing! Nice and loud with good base. Better than my 15 inch laptop. The screen is also nice and bright.
overall I am very impressed with the perforce and battery endurance of this laptop. Intel was truly holding the Mac back. Good move on apple parts to just leave them.

This laptop purchase replaced a brand new 2021 HP Envy after the hinges failed on that laptop after less than 30 days of tabletop use.
The last Apple product I owned was over a decade ago since my workplace is a Microsoft native environment.
Well, this new M1 one chip, screen graphics, snappy keys, and seemingly infinite battery life are all truly incredible. The build quality is as good as it gets. It is genuinely a pleasure to use both the software and hardware with this Mac Book Pro. I actually like the option strip at the top of the keyboard. I also like the lightweight and portability of the 13 inch - I had a 16.7 screen on the HP envy with the screen upgrade - and this 13 inch MacBook Pro screen is still better because the resolution is so much higher.
I use the camera for Zoom meetings and it is extremely high quality and I remote into a server at work without any lag or problems. Apple products just work better - the last computer was state-of-the-art from HP and it was not even close.
Mac is still light years ahead of the I7 powered HP Envy in every way. Also, I downloaded the Microsoft 360 suite of programs and they work perfectly with my old database programs -

New to MacBook, OBSESSED!

LOVE my Mac! I’ve had Apple phones, Apple Watch and the AirPods, but this is my first MacBook purchase. I’ve wanted one for a long time now and I couldn’t be happier! It just made sense since every other electronic device I have is Mac. It’s so easy to pair all my other devices to it.
I’m not a tech guru or anything, but this M1 chip in the MacBook is amazing! Everything is lightening fast. I’m still getting used to it from switching over from a regular PC laptop, but I am so glad I did it. I really haven’t fully discovered everything it’s capable of yet, but from reading all the reviews and doing A LOT of research, I am excited! I’m starting school again in the fall, and with my MacBook, I feel a lot more confident to get right back in it!
I probably would have been JUST as satisfied with the Air, but I’m kind of a go big or go home type of person, so I decided on the Pro. From reading all the reviews and everything, it doesn’t seem like there is much of a huge difference between the two, but the 20 hour battery life? Like come on, it doesn’t get any better than that. I opted for the 512GB storage because why not. If you’re on the fence about spending the money on this device, DO IT. You will NOT look back!

This review is dated. This was a pandemic purchase. I have owned 2 different IPads over the years. This MAcBook Pro with
the M1 chip is exceeding smooth and fast. It is also very compact. I am a firm believer in the quality of Apple products. Their support system is also outstanding.

This macbook is very slick and fast working. The m1 chip really upgrades the new laptops and doesn't make it heat up. The display is extremely clear and the touch bar is super helpful. One full charge can last for a few days which is incredible. I would totally recommend this laptop!!
